The biggest infrastructure story in the state: a true high-speed rail line between Houston and Dallas — and everything else moving Texans.
Plans for a ~240-mile corridor connecting the two metros in about 90 minutes — a trip that currently takes 3.5–4 hours by car on I-45. One of the most-watched rail projects in America, tracked here as it moves.
Dallas–Houston is the anchor line. The vision connects the Metroplex to the Bayou City — two of the fastest-growing regions in the country — and opens the door for Texas to become a rail state, not just a highway state.
